Totally agree. Being a Jew married to a Jew, it was really fun when, before finding out we were having a girl, my MIL said that we should have the circumcision at the hospital and do a fake bris at home. I was like, "Um, I don't think we're going to have elective surgery performed on our infant"

Cool! Thanks!

What's the difference between nighttime bathwash and, um daytime(?) bathwash? I'm due in May so I have >90 days to figure this stuff out. Does nighttime bathwash come with a little Tylonol PM? If so, I need to order a case now before the FDA gets wise and makes me go to Canada to get my fix.

Damn. I hadn't even thought about kid music. It's pretty comforting to hear that there are good children's musicians. Radio Disney is something else I judge while knowing little-to-nothing about.

I have a friend who is a vegetarian but hates vegetables. Her diet is 90% white flour-based bread products, cheese, and red wine (with the occasional mushroom). Yes, she is my hero. Yes, I have eaten a lot of white pizza with her.

Maybe she thought that coffee beans were grown on the cool northern slopes of Ireland? By Sean O'Valdez?

That's my husband's movie theater order (minus the extra butter. usually). Don't worry, I give him a ton of shit for ordering the swimming pool-sized popcorn. YOU'RE ONE PERSON!

You do sound a *little* harsh (but maybe I'm just sensitive), but I really should have made it clearer that I was completely kidding. I totally get that the toys that kids like don't necessarily translate into the the people that they will eventually want to make sex with.

I also get that Legos aren't a "boy toy"…

Thanks. I think the tongue in cheek got lost in my comment. But I also played with Barbies, Legos, turned over rocks in the yard and played with the creepy crawlies underneath. I just feel like even with more visibility of non-gender conforming adults, little girls are expected to be the damsel that needs saving. I…

Maybe it's just the hormones, but that's really lovely. You sound like a great parent.

I know you're right... I can't wait to get one of them designer babies everyone keeps talking about. Until then, I guess I'm just going to have to love and support her the way she is.

I'm expecting a girl and I'm totally hoping she's a lesbian. Not because I want to be cool (that ship sailed long ago), but because I feel like there's a slightly slimmer chance that she'll be into princess crap and a slightly greater chance that she'll want to play Legos with me. Wishful thinking? Likely.

I'm a little sad that America got so skinny.

She might want to check out eshakti.com. You can either order from regular sizes or (for no extra fee) enter in your measurements and they will make it custom for you. For a little more, they'll even customize length, sleeve type, etc. It's basically the best place on the internet to buy clothes.

Where is your manservant to carry you up (and down) these stairs?!?

STOP IT! I'm 27 weeks and cannot imagine this little parasite (whom I love, of course) getting any bigger. She already hosts dance parties every night. Sometimes when my husband feels it he yells into my (rapidly disappearing) button, "Why are you punching your mom?" It doesn't work. Now you're telling me she's…

She is clearly a better person than I will ever be. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to continue to drink this smoothie and think about maybe spending 30 minutes on the elliptical tomorrow or the next day.

I would buy your book of poetry (puppyetry?)

I want to hug him so much. Also, to make a Mongol/mongrel joke but I can't think of one because all my brain blood is being pulled into my must-hug-puppy-cortex.

ME TOOOO! I had no idea there was an "ON" tossed in there!
